The revolutionary subject in Frantz Fanon: an interpretation between multiple spontaneity and unified articulation through Negri and Laclau

This article proposes an analysis of the revolutionary subject in The wretched of the earth by Frantz Fanon under the scope of the later theorical contributions of Antonio Negri and Ernesto Laclau referring to the modes and determinations in which political subjects are formed and, in particular, through their assessments of the fanonian thesis. The article states that we can find in Fanon some of the considerations that allow us to interpret the political subject in national liberation struggles firstly as a multiple and spontaneous, tangent to Negri's multitude and secondly, as a unified and articulated subject, related to Laclau's people, which will eventually return to new correspondences with Negri. This analytical structure will be complemented with references to the divergent standpoint of Vladimir Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg regarding the issue of spontaneity and the organization of the revolutionary subject.
